1. Define the settings with the DIP switches. 2. Switch the power supply to the detector on. The VEK MNH series detectors automatically run a test of the induction loops as well as a frequency alignment. The detector is ready for operation when the blue LEDs are continuously lit. There is more information in the section on LED indicators.
